Support NeoGAF

Wow, I didn't realize we will be able to play AWAY from home for remote play! This is so freakin' awesome and is seriously making me want to get my third party games on PS4 now. I really hope this helps Vita sell more systems, because it really is a sweet piece of hardware.

Yes, it supports that, but experience will be affected by the quality of your Internet infrastructure.

It's possible, but don't set your expectations too high. Latency is still a problem the farther away you are from your home.

I look forward to trying Remote Play across the Pacific ocean soon.

Would want to test but I don't like dealing with bad connections. Would be cool to text friends and shop the store though.

 

[Eggbok]

Will never get old LOL!

 

[RulkezX]

Really looking forward to trying this out for myself.

Easily the feature I am most looking forward too.

Apologies if this has been addressed, but I was curious.. This may be a noob question, but since, say when you are at home, the Vita has to use your WiFi to access the PS4 for Remote Play.. does this mean that it's using my data/bandwidth from my ISP?

All the network traffic stays within your home network, and never leaves your house, so it won't affect your bandwidth.

Awesome - thanks for the confirmation dude!

Should we start compiling a list of PS4 games that dont support remote play? Is there even any camera-based games announced for PS4 [not counting PlayRoom]?

As far as I know there's none confirmed yet.

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

Does Resogun support remote play? Or better: Do all PSN/Indie games support remoteplay?

 

[CaptainTiptop]

All PS4 games that don't require the camera.

Seems like you don't have to do anything in PS4 to activate Remote Play, only open the app in PSVITA.

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Any chance games will have bigger text when played on vita? Been watching footage of Killzone etc and can barely see the text even at 1080p. Also as much as I like the idea of playing stuff like Bf4 on vita, it will be incredibly hard to see anything and normal ps4 players will own us every time...

We will have to register PSVita on PS4 once. After that, Vita takes the controls. Yosp has confirmed that Vita could be used as a primary screen for PS4 (if you want to move PS4 to a place where there is no TV), but initial Remote Plat setup REQUIRES you to have hdmi TV for PS4.
edit - here, pairing process is done on PS4

Remote play works on principle that PS4 takes the final image, and downscales it to Vita/VitaTV rez. There will be no changes in rendering of anything.

Sure, but Sony could mandate that devs have to have an option for bigger text available in the options for this purpose

Same as PS3.

 

[Parakeetman]

I still wish that the redesigned newer VITA would have ditched the rear TP for a L2 / R2 instead. Would have made a lot more sense seeing how they are pushing remote play as a big thing.

Yeah, that's a pretty good idea. Hopefully some does that.

No, in PS3 you have to select Network > Remote play each time you want to use it.

I watched some gameplay bits on my Vita and didn't feel the need for a new UI for it.

I should watch that shadow fall high fps footage on it.... Oh my I need to do that.

Shame I left my charging cable at work and I'm not back till Thursday lol

 

[killatopak]

Hype!

Vita getting better and better.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

OT post but ive completely fogotten how to get the PS options up when im remote playing. (trying to change disks in FFVIII)

Touch the screen isn't it? Can't honest say I ever used it on PS3 and Vita. Used it a tiny bit on PSPGo and PS3.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Touch the screen isn't it?

It used to be but im sure they changed it.

...and it still is. Thanks

 

[gofreak]

I'm glad the manual clarifies that you can connect directly or through a WAP. The big FAQ they released seemed to imply it was done only through a WAP.

 

[MrBambinoDent]

One of my most anticipated PS4 features, just bought a second Vita only for the sake of it

 

[R_thanatos]

No, in PS3 you have to select Network > Remote play each time you want to use it.

actually No , you can make the ps3 boot in remote play mode with your vita or your psp ( without doing anything on your ps3 prior the inital registration )

 

[JBourne]

There's no way my upload speed will be good enough for playing away from home. That makes it a bit easier for me to hold off on buying a PS4.

Amazing feature, though. They really should have a PS4 + Vita bundle.

 

[RaikuHebi]

You're wrong. You can make the PS3 listen for a Wifi signal from a Remote Play device.

Dammit, I was looking forward to remote playing this on my Vita in bed

Spoiler

Pre-order cancelled.

Question - does anyone know if it would be possible to play PS4 games with a Vita without the console being hooked up to a TV? ie - booting straight onto the Vita

It is but the initial setup has to be done on the PS4 itself.

This has been answered on the very same page. Quoting here:

Awesome. Thanks for the quick replies.

I currently don't have a TV since I'm moving around, but this would be an amazing feature for me personally.

That's for Remote Start not for Remote Play.

Truth.. don't know why they didn't do this.

 

[Mokubba]

Games still use the rear touchpad.

Tearaway is an example.

I've played Rayman Legends on my PS3 through my Vita without touching the PS3. What am I misunderstanding here?

You must turn on your PS3 with Remote Start and then play the game.
If the PS3 is already on and you want to start using Remote Play you have to go to Network -> Remote Play in PS3 and then start remote play app in PS Vita.

So I presume for that you need to exit the PS3 game? Or you can do that inside game's mini XMB?

With PS4, RemotePlay can be activated at all times, which is great.

Ok now I get you haha.

Well that is a fantastic feature. Didn't really give it much thought until now but it's perfect. Just like the WiiU I presume.

I noticed this video in the PS4 Taiwan thread. It shows the interaction from launching the PS4 link app to actually playing. Seems fairly quick.

Yoshida showed the same thing on TGS when he fired up Remote Play on VitaTV.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Just hoping that the BT homehub doesn't screw with the PS4 and keep waking it up when set up for remote start.

It seems like you can just use the Vita as a monitor too! So you can use the PS4 controller and just have the video playing on the Vita if you're going to be playing for a while and you wouldn't have to compromise on control scheme either!

I thought that was interesting. I was hoping that when the presenter picked up the DS4 again that we'd see what the Vita did. The fact that it kept displaying what the PS4 was doing shouldn't be a surprise I suppose.
